In the heart of New Orleans, Jackson Howard spends his days in the comfort of his New Orleans Herald Office and his father's old beat up leather journal. And on the rough pages of that journal sit the most beautiful words about the one so far, yet so close. The gracious Southern belle whose laugh captivates his every waking moment shouldn't be all Jack thinks about, but Elizabeth Jefferson is one hell of a woman with one hell of an aura. For three years, Jack - ironically enough - can't garner the words to confess the deep affection he feels for Liz. And how could he? With so many roadblocks and her own relationship stopping him, Liz is nowhere near in reach. However, Jack's luck may work in his favor - as a birthday wish and a strange twist of events catapult Liz further than he could ever dream of. With one night and a whole lot of obstacles, can Jack finally muster the words to make Liz his entirely?
